Sidewinders with stock intake

[**sj**]

The oily vapor coats the inside of the intercooler and eventually lessens it's abilities... Of course you could remove all charge tubes and intercooler and clean...

So its not hurting anything as far as power being made with it vented as is? So the oil mist on the turbo,what is that hurting?

If its a variable vain turbo it will eventually restrict its performance.

7000 miles on my sled. I always run it at max level and never have oil in the tubes. But I don’t run in deep snow very often.

Pull the charge tube you will be suprised

I tested both hooked up and unhooked on same day, same conditions and logged the runs. I saw no RPM change either way. What I do know is with the hose hooked up factory style, is the mist and vapor coats the whole intake for sure.

I prefer to run with the blowby running out under the running board rather than coating the intake. After I ran that test that day, I did take out the intercooler to see how much oil I had in there and there was of course the coating and a bit of oil in the bottom of the cooler and intake tubes were coated.

Powerwise, I doubt you'd see a horse or two either way. I did the ROV elimination mod to get rid of the ROV and prevent the oil tank seal from blowing which is has done a good job of. Not coating the intake has just been a bonus.

In the 1400 or so miles I've done this season, I have used zero oil and it is still right at the top of the line on oil tank with ROV mod dumping vapor under the running board.

Mike do we just flush the intercooler with varsol and let dry or degreaser

so much debate about the rov my sled does end up side down 2 or three times a yr (powder) no freezing problems, so keep it in place?

Nice, i pulled my intercooler because i left the roll over valve to, and oil was pouring out of the hoses will see how much when i flush it.the right hose was sliced about 3" up at the intercooler my wire harness was tywrapped on the bottom of the roll over hose and burnt a flat spot in it from the pipe heat shield have to cut it open to see how bad it is,glad im doing everything my self now

Disconnect line blowing the oil in intake track, plug it and get rid of ROV put on hose loop around and down, will work if you roll over, Rockerdans build way. Had it like this for three years now, no problems, no oil in hoses, intercooler etc, just saying and quit worrying.

Ya probably do that mod this summer ,hows everyone seperating the oil resevoir.while its still on the sled or pull the chaincase the and seperating in the bench

I split mine on the machine since I just did gear oil a week prior to my oil tank leaking

I just did my rov delete on my 19 srx which has 7500km on it amd has never left the trail. I decided to pull my Intercooler. When I tipped it over I had close to a good ounce of motor oil. Topped with white cream.
Really gross. Filled with diluted simple.green, shook for 15 seconds.. had to do that 3 more times. The first rinse was ridiculously. My charge tubes were all coated as expected.....
